The talented Denise Crosby recently stopped by the studios to work on her top secret project for STO. In this supplemental episode of "On Screen!", I had the chance to ask her some player submitted questions.

"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them." -Thomas Marrone
I have to say, that was very enjoyable. great to see some of the actresses prespective. Makes me excited to see what turns up. Sounds like Sela is coming back soon, and with a vengeance.
Great interview. Sela is one of my favorite characters in star trek. I can't wait to hear Denise in the game.

Out of curiosity ... did you guys add a voiceover for Sela in "Cutting the Cord?"
I really hope so. It's only, what, two sentences in one flyby dialog box? Since she seems eager to be doing this, I wouldn't think it'd be too hard to manage. Surely they could convince her to voice those.
Honestly, the story arc idea she proposed (assuming she did come up with it, and this all isn't part of the marketing/promotion of the fact she's doing voice over for STO) isn't half bad.

Assuming, for the moment, that Natasha Yar managed to avoid the execution by Romulans - which Sela shared with Picard (mentioned in Redemption, Part 2) - she (Tasha) would be around 94 years old by 2409. In the world of Trek this isn't too old to have an agenda.

It's remotely possible that Sela was telling Picard a 'story'..., just because she could discern the emotion in Picards' voice about Tasha.
She was pretty bitchy in that episode and making Picard believe that Tasha was dead wouldn't be beneath her.
It's also possible that what she remembers from her childhood, might be a bit over-the-top considering the circumstances at the time...
It must have been somewhat overwhelming, happening so fast, on a young impressionable mind...
Also consider that she was a Hybrid-child... Half Human/Half Romulan in a very prejudice society,
That too must have been very rough on her. She'd be constantly compensating for a perceived inadequacy in her up-bringing.

Thanks Branflakes! Props to Denise!! *gloat*gloat*
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect. But actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey ... stuff. --the Doctor, "Blink"

I hadn't seen that video! Thanks for linking.
Great interviews, can't wait for the episode to air.
Tell me though: Is it still going to be 2409 after the third anniversary? This has to be the longest year in the history of ever! :P
It's the opposite :P She was saying, "awwww," and hugged me when I introed her lol
Cheers,
Brandon =/\=

Haha this was one of my thoughts, I recently played that mission and it got me thinking...
And yeah, I'd have loved the video of it - pin her down and stick a yellow uniform on her next time Brandon ;-)

Oh it's her! Cool, and nice interview.
I like the fact she dialed it back quite a bit and didn't go the arrogant route like so many former Star Trek actors do.

It could be argued it's not: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=199656
